Intelligent Optimized Wind Turbine Cost Analysis for Different Wind Sites in Jordan

Abstract

Choosing the right wind site and estimating the extracted energy of the wind turbines are essential to successfully establishing a wind farm in a specific wind site. In this paper, a method for estimating the extracted energy of the wind farms using several mathematical models is proposed. The estimating method, which was based on five wind turbines, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q5 and three wind distribution models, gamma, Weibull, and Rayleigh, was used to suggest suitable specifications of a wind turbine for a specific wind site and maximize the extracted energy of the proposed wind farm. An optimization problem, developed for this purpose, was solved using the whale optimization algorithm (WOA). The suggested method was tested using several potential wind sites in Jordan. The proposed wind farms at these sites achieved the maximum extracted energy, maximum capacity factor (CF), and minimum levelized cost of energy (LCoE) based on the solution of the developed optimization problem. The developed model with Q3 and the Rayleigh distribution function was validated with real measurement data from several wind farms in Jordan. Error analysis showed that the difference between the measured and estimated energy was less than 20%. The study validated the provided model, which can now be utilized routinely for the assessment of wind energy potential at a specific wind site.

Role of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid in Plant Defense Response

“…GABA accumulation is thought to reduce oxidative damage caused by ROS and thus increase tolerance to oxidative stress [93]. The plant cells decompose the accumulated GABA in the cell through the GABA branch, and the end product formed also acts as the substrate of the TCA cycle.…”

“…The formation of GABA is promoted by activating the Ca 2+ /CaM pathway under UV-B radiation. However, the GABA pathway is blocked in Arabidopsis thaliana after CaM-related mutates, resulting in decreased ROS scavenging ability and resistance to UV-B radiation in seedlings and suggesting that the GABA pathway is involved in the regulation of the plant's antioxidant pathway [93]. Many studies have shown that exogenous GABA treatment can maintain the REDOX state balance at the cell level by affecting the activity of antioxidant-related enzymes in plants to improve their resistance.…”

Renewable Energy Role in Climate Stabilization and Water Consumption Minimization in Jordan

“…And finally, Jordan has implemented supportive policies and regulations to stimulate investments in renewable energy. Similarly, as stated in [46,47] Jordan was declared one of the top three emerging markets in renewable energy investment in 2018.…”

Peer-to-Peer Power Energy Trading in Blockchain Using Efficient Machine Learning Model

“…Moreover, the framework's flexibility allows the customization of blockchain modules, enabling the exploration of different delegate selection methods and consensus mechanisms, to optimize security and efficiency. The utilization of renewable energy resources, particularly wind power, has become essential in addressing environmental concerns related to fossil fuel usage, and the authors in [7] investigated the viability of producing wind energy at several wind farms in Jordan. The study evaluates the expenses related to wind turbine installation and operation by using sophisticated optimization techniques.…”
